Complex Fertilizers Market Overview
- Complex fertilizers are advanced agricultural inputs that contain two or more primary nutrients - nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) - in a single product.
- These fertilizers are manufactured through chemical processes that combine various nutrient sources into granules or prills, ensuring a uniform distribution of nutrients
- The most common formulations include NPK combinations such as 15-15-15 or 20-10-10, where the numbers represent the percentage of N, P, and K respectively.
- Complex fertilizers often also incorporate secondary nutrients like sulfur, calcium, and magnesium, as well as micronutrients such as zinc, boron, and manganese, making them comprehensive nutritional solutions for crops.
